What Makes This Deck Special

While the Playful Heart Tarot immediately captures attention with its delightful artwork, this deck offers far more than charming illustrations. At its heart is Zaara's philosophy that cuteness opens the heart, and an open heart is a gateway to intuition.

Each card presents familiar tarot archetypes through playful animal characters and imaginative storytelling, making the symbolism feel welcoming while preserving the richness and depth of the tarot tradition. Zaara's joyful artistic vision offers a fresh perspective while honoring the enduring language of the tarot.

The Playful Heart Tarot reminds us that curiosity is one of our greatest strengths. It invites readers of every experience level to trust their intuition, embrace playfulness, and discover wisdom with an open heart.

The Power of Cuteness

One of the most original ideas behind the Playful Heart Tarot is Zaara's belief that cuteness naturally opens the heart.

That feeling you experience when seeing a playful kitten, an excited puppy, or another lovable creature creates a brief moment of openness and presence. The Playful Heart Tarot invites you to begin your readings from that same heart-centered space.

This doesn't ignore life's difficulties or pretend painful experiences don't exist. Instead, the deck encourages readers to embrace both joy and shadow while approaching each situation with creativity, flexibility, and compassion. The message throughout is simple: you are always free to make new choices.

The Artwork

Every illustration begins as an original hand-drawn work by Seattle-based artist Zaara, also known as KittenChops. Her expressive ink drawings combine adorable animals, vibrant color, humor, and imaginative storytelling into scenes filled with warmth, personality, and symbolic meaning.

The artwork feels instantly welcoming, inviting readers of every experience level to connect naturally with the cards. Over time, the playful imagery continues to reveal fresh layers of symbolism, emotion, and personal meaning, making each reading a little different from the last.

The Companion Guide Booklet

The companion guide booklet extends the experience far beyond the cards themselves, offering practical guidance, creative inspiration, and Zaara's personal insights into every card.

Written in her warm, playful, and occasionally tongue-in-cheek voice, the booklet includes:

  • Practical advice for developing intuitive tarot readings
  • Suggestions for asking empowering questions
  • Card-by-card interpretations
  • An "In a Pickle" section exploring challenging expressions of every card, even if you never read reversals
  • Creative exercises and tarot spells
  • Guidance for incorporating the bonus oracle-style cards into your readings

Rather than encouraging readers to simply memorize meanings, the guide booklet inspires you to develop your own relationship with the cards while strengthening your confidence as a reader.

Bonus Oracle Cards

In addition to the traditional 78-card tarot deck, this Standard Edition includes seven beautifully illustrated oracle-style bonus cards that offer encouragement, affirmation, and gentle guidance.

The bonus cards include:

  • Keep Practicing
  • You Are Not Alone
  • Take the First Step Today
  • Embrace Your Inner Child
  • Yes
  • Things Are Easier Than You Think
  • You Are Free

You can shuffle these cards directly into the tarot deck for unexpected messages, draw one at the end of a reading for additional insight, or use them on their own as uplifting daily affirmations. They beautifully complement the tarot while reflecting the joyful, heart-opening philosophy that inspires the Playful Heart Tarot.
